Requirements

Lesson Requirements

The following requirements must be met before and during every lesson:

1. Valid Driver's License Required

You must hold a valid BC Learner's (L), Novice (N), or an approved International Driver's License before your lesson. No license = no driving.

Important — License Pickup Time: If John needs to drive you to collect your license before the lesson, that travel time is deducted from your lesson time.
Example: 1.5-hour lesson with a 20-minute license pickup leaves approximately 1 hour 10 minutes of active driving time.

2. Appropriate Clothing

Students must wear appropriate, non-restrictive clothing. Avoid anything that limits movement or visibility while driving.

3. Vehicle Occupancy

Only the student and instructor are permitted in the vehicle during a lesson, unless both parties agree otherwise in advance.
